Normally, you will need a few different categories of coverage for complete liability protection:
- General Liability: The foundation of all contractor insurance coverage is a general liability policy. This coverage will provide two types of protection:
- Bodily Injury: Provides coverage if you or someone you employ causes injury or death to a third party during the course of work. It provides for medical care for the injured person and covers your legal defense if you are sued for damages.
- Property Damage: Provides coverage if you or one of your employees causes damage to property belonging to others. This includes the building or property you are working on or any third-party property.
- Completed Operations/Product: Provides coverage in case a project you finished has an issue or causes damage. It can also extend to any products you sell or distribute.
- Advertising Personal Injury: Covers the risk of damaging another’s reputation or causing a loss through slander, libel or false advertising claims.
- Contract Liability: This covers you in a contract dispute. It is not always included in general liability coverage so verify that you carry this coverage with your insurer.
The specific independent contractor’s liability insurance coverage you need will be unique to your business. We understand what type of protection you will need most and we will work tirelessly so that you don’t have critical gaps in coverage that could leave you exposed to expensive legal claims.
